Police: You Are Being Arrested For Reckless Driving And Having Three People Tied On To The Top Of A Car.

now that the umbrella academy has antagonists literally called “the Swedes”, it has NO excuse NOT to set a fight scene to an ABBA song

Ben: sucks that my childhood was ruined by dad, at least now I’m almost an adult so I’ll be able to leave

The horror:

it’s almost 2 AM but i just had to-

do u have any hc for ben hargreeves?? i love him so much and theres literally not enough content for him :(

Sure! I have a couple, though not many considering that he’s rarely featured…

Ben has… many mental issues. 

BPD I would say, because he seemingly really enjoys being spontaneous but at the same time can NOT handle other people’s shit 

Also most likely had undiagnosed anxiety as a kid because he would say stuff like “my stomach hurts :(” (aka how children can communicate their anxiety because they literally don’t know the word) and everyone would go “sHiT rUN” bc eldritch monster.

He was wearing a hoodie when he died, which would have been an act of rebellion at the young age that he was, right? 

….Reginald would never allow him to wear that on a mission

THEREFORE

I head canon that Ben did not die on a mission, but while running away.

Which would be why Klaus blames himself (”I didn’t sign up to save him or you!”) since he probably ran away multiple times before ben did and knew the risks

Reginald sat Ben and Five on either side of Vanya because he believed they were the strongest of the rest of them and could kill control her if she had an outburst 

He never learned to drive but man he really really wanted to

Died and realized that physical laws didn’t apply to him anymore so he went absolutely buck wild for a little bit there 

I’m talking full on standing between walls like a glitched out video game character for no reason other than its so fuckin funny

And driving Klaus INSANE with the I’m not touching you game 

Also him and Klaus were really close as kids because Ben was the only one who believed his off the wall bullshit 

Like when Klaus freaks out thinking that they’re all robots like Grace because they get cords attached to their heads at night - he’s sEEN IT GUYS - but they all think it’s just another one of his nightmares

But no, Ben’s like “hmm that might be legit”

And yet they can’t prove it because Reginald catches on to them and monitors them in different ways 

He’s smart but not like…. in a competitive way, you feel me? Luther and Diego learned a lot through trying to one up each other (like Diego criticizing Luther’s knowledge of spacial phenomenons and Diego taunting Luther with his knowledge of specific wrestling terms)

And not in an identity crisis way, like Five, who needed to prove to HIMSELF that he was capable of great feats

Nope, Ben just wanted to learn stuff for shits and giggles

And lemme tell you just how much that pissed Reginald off  :)

If you think Klaus isn’t going to take full advantage of everyone believing him about Ben in season two then you’re wrong. 

Klaus: Ben said that I’m totally right and we should go set that store on fire because they wouldn’t sell me fifty-two ring pops. 

Diego: I don’t think that sounds right…

Klaus: Ummm excuse me who is the medium here?

Ben: Klaus, for the ever-loving-fuck.

*in the afterlife*

Klaus: come on I’m rescuing you let’s get out of here

Ben, hugging Freddy Mercury’s leg: but I don’t want to

headcanon time:

* ben has a chronic pain disorder.

* ben thought the never ending pain was like. a Normal Thing everyone else had.

* so like. he said something off handedly about it and whoever he said it to gave him a Concerned Look.

* who knew that having something crawling around the inside of your body wasn’t good and fresh?

* reginald never gave two fucks if ben was in pain or not. mostly he thought that ben was being dramatic about it.

* (maybe ben starts self medicating with alcohol…..catch me sneaking in some alcoholic!ben au in here)

* ben started to read a lot more. because it didn’t require that much physical energy.

* he’s like. always tired. it’s a chronic pain thing. you are always tired because your body is using its energy to not literally collapse.

* when he died he wasn’t in pain so like. yeah death is Bad,,,, but like,,,,, he could deal with it

* when he came back he felt fucking terrible for at least six weeks. like, can’t get out of bed literally crying because of the unbearable pain.

* it took a hot minute to get used to the pain again.

* he moves one inch and Everything Cracks.
